Steve Matthews Channels Dave Regan in Latest Romance

Steve Matthews

Looks like SEIU Local 721’s newly appointed Executive
Director is working hard to keep pace with Dave Regan’s passion for extra-marital
romances. Readers report that Steve
Matthews, who’s only headed the Los Angeles-based union since September, is
running into problems after getting busy with a Local 721 staffer. It’s too bad
that Local 721’s members didn’t listen to Tasty’s warnings
about Matthews! Here are excerpts from a reader’s recent email (Tasty replaced
the women’s names with initials):

Do you remember seeing
the blog post where Steve was exposed for having an inappropriate relationship
with T. who was a member of uhw and that he was fired from?

He's up to the same
thing. He is still married to T. and is
also having an affair with L. who is a former union member and now on staff at
our local. We were ok when we could at
least pretend it wasn't happening but he has been making decisions that affect
us and our dues. Steve recently created
a new department in the union and put L. in charge of it and gave her a raise! When are we going to draw the line? We can't
keep covering for Steve and letting him make decisions about our union that
affect all of us.

Steve has a history of
inappropriate relationships and has gotten fired over these every time. He has
poor judgement and pits members against other members and staff against other
staff members… Steve uses his position of power to take advantage of women.

What are we going to
do about all of this? The decisions that
are being made are really bad and I was told that everyone is talking about it
at the union office.

Tasty hopes that Matthews pulls out (so to speak) before he
commits something similar to what Dave Regan did in Ohio. Back when Dangerous Dave
was President of SEIU 1199 Ohio, he reportedly impregnated one of the
union’s Executive Board members and then pressured her to get an abortion,
after which he promptly dumped her from the union’s board.

Tasty hears that Regan’s escapades are well known inside
SEIU. In 2009, soon after Regan landed in California to impose SEIU’s
trusteeship, a union staffer questioned Regan about the Ohio incident during a
union staff meeting. Apparently, Regan didn’t deny the incident, but instead challenged
the staffer to a fist fight in the parking lot. What a class act! Well, now we
know why SEIU pays Regan a salary of $300,000
a year – all that extra-curricular romancing is expensive!
